The Daily Dispatch: March 21, 1863., [Electronic resource], The English press on the emancipation Society. (search)
may be emphatically described as nobodies. We are ready to grant that the painful obscurity of this personnel was no fault of the promoters of the meeting. They had labored hard to cajole individuals of real parts and imminence into attending. They had asked Johnson and Burke; but, as in the famous instance of "the Haunch of Venison," Johnson and Burke "couldn't come." Good old General Thompson sent ten pounds to the funds of the association, but stayed away; Mr. Forster, M. P., would have come, but he was bespoken for a meeting at Bradford; Mr. John Stuart Mill had no time to spare for anything of the kind; Professor Newman was unfortunately engaged to lecture at University College; Professor Cairnce was simply "unable to attend" Mr. W. Hargreaves was similarly incapacitated from coming, but sent instead a paragraph of florid nonsense about liberty, equality, and fraternity, and "the Beelzebub of the press," and Colonel Salwey had an appointment of long standing at Edisburgh.
